The best things about glass sinks are the variety of thicknesses, shapes and colors, making the different styles to choose from vast. Glass sinks can appear as stand alone units when they are molded into a glass bench tops, or as works of art when placed on top of metal stands or open displays. Glass sinks can also be placed on vanity basins, although when incorporating something as modern as a glass sink, the traditional vanity should be replaced with something that better showcases the design quality of a glass sink.

Glass sinks are typically made out of a variety of glass, including mosaic glass, stained glass, carved and etched glass and hand-blown glass creating different styles, colors, shapes and sizes – each unique and striking. Glass sinks can be original works of art or factory produced and selected to work with any bathroom décor. As with most things, original sinks are much more costly than factory produced, but do serve as artistic statements, just as a piece of art like an oil painting might.

Glass sinks made from tempered glass are designed to withstand direct hits from glasses, bottles and other bathrooms items as well as temperature changes, protecting them from breaking just as a porcelain sink would be protected.


The shower has come a long way. They used to be a part of an average room with a bath/shower, sink and toilet. Over the years, bathrooms have become custom designed rooms, and showers have become a type of sanctuary. Instead of offering a quick and efficient way to get clean (jump in, jump out and you are appreciated for your hygiene), showers now provide a place for relaxation. Enter in advanced shower head designs that are created to clean, comfort and relax.

There is still the fixed head versus hand held shower head choice, but beyond that the new designs in shower heads have your comfort in mind. Various shower heads fit various shower styles, and include:

Rose Head Designs
This design has a wide head with many small holes, providing a gentle raindrop pattern spray.

Ceiling Head Designs
Ceiling shower heads requiring more water for a stronger spray are great for larger shower rooms.

Multifunction Head Designs
These shower head designs allow users to twist for changes in water flow and pattern of spray.

Double Head Design
This design allows two sprays on one unit or an overhead spray plus a side spray. The double head design allows for a more luxurious shower, but uses a lot more water.

Most shower head options can provide a variety of sprays, including a raindrop spray, a jet spray which provides an invigorating stream, mist spray that delivers fine drops and champagne sprays or small drops.
